Yes but the shutdown occurred because the dems and Olucifer would except no changes at all to Obamacare, no defunding, no delay, no nothing.
Fund 100.00% of government or shutdown occurs, so they shut it down, and they left it shutdown until the GOP did exactly what they said.
But what tells me about the GOP are incidents like paying employees for doing nothing while at the same time publically fretting about the shutdown, and further engaging in democrat LIES about defaulting on the debt, which isn’t possible, and not speaking out against the obvious lie that SS recipients might be paid.
This is kabuki theater, SoL. Both parties are engaged in this, they are con men, liars and schemers.
The GOP is not worthy of any trust at all. There may be a member or two or three that deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point, or maybe even actual trust, and I am referring to Cruz and Lee and Gomert only pretty much, but the rest of them are stinking criminals.
I agree that Obama took a hard stand on it no doubt about it.
He basically said “You will surrender and you get nothing for it”
But that is because the initiative was doomed from the start and everyone knew it .
Everyone knew exactly how it would end(as it did), it was no mystery.
I know some talk radio shows were prompting listeners to act ‘outraged and surprised’ and you could see their comments here doing that. But most of them knew too.
But it was just another Kabuki dance
